Definitions
- the present invention relates to the preparation of cellulose fiber pulp from wood and other cellulosic materials. More particularly, the present invention relates to the flushing or washing of lignin, digestion and bleaching chemicals from cellulosic pulp.
- Raw wood, bagasse and other cellulosic fiber sources are delignified by cooking processes in the presence of chemicals which form water soluble compounds and complexes with the natural lignin binder of the raw fiber matrix.
- the chemicals used in the digestive cooking process are relatively inexpensive, those quantities consumed in the 1500 tons of dry pulp per day production of an average pulp mill necessitates an economical recovery and recycle of such chemical values.
- the lignin compounds which must be removed from the cellulose fiber matrix contain sufficient heat value and volatility to contribute favorably to the overall mill heat balance.
- black liquor contains approximately 10% to 20% solids in solution and suspension with water.
- the solids concentration of the solution must be increased to approximately 60%: sufficient to fuel a sustained combustion. This is normally accomplished by evaporation.
- the 60% solids heavy black liquor is burned in the recovery furnace to release both inorganic chemical values combined therewith and heat to generate steam. A portion of such liquor generated steam is used in a continuous evaporation flow stream for black liquor concentration with the remainder used in support of other mill processes such as paper drying.
- the current, customary practice of pulp washing includes the use of two to seven rotary drum vacuum filters such as described by U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,363,744; 3,403,786; 3,409,139 and 4,138,313.
- a slowly rotating drum filter is partially submerged in a mixing vat containing a 1% to 3% consistency slurry of pulp.
- a partially evacuated drum interior draws the slurry against the submerged, filter screen surface of the drum.
- Pulp fibers are retained on the screen surface while a portion of the water contained in the pulp passes therethrough.
- Such fiber accumulation on the drum screen surface builds a fiber mat thereon until drum rotation carries the mat above the mixing vat slurry surface.
- the mat is peeled from the drum surface and directed into the vat of the subsequent wash stage where the process is repeated.
- filtrate drawn from the pulp advances counterflow of the pulp so that the filtrate of each stage is used to wash the preceding stage pulp mat.
- plug flow displacement of mat liquor with more dilute wash liquor provides the least mixing of the respective liquors and the greatest wash efficiency. If ideal plug flow was attainable in all stages, no more fresh water would be added to the last wash stage than is discharged with the pulp from the last stage. Unfortunately, the ideal is not attainable in practice due to the fact that the filter surface mat is neither homogeneously permeable nor porous. Mat liquor contained within the interstitial matrix between the fibers is not uniformly available to wash liquor displacement. Accordingly, the available wash liquor passes through the mat along a dispersed system of channels and interconnected large pores. These channels and interconnected large pores are flushed of mat liquor but large volumes of mat liquor trapped in closed or restricted pores remains to be carried over into the next wash stage.
- An objective of the present invention therefore is to provide a method and apparatus for improving the washing efficiency of pulp on drum filters over that previously attainable by the prior art.
- Another object of the present invention is to improve the washing efficiency of an entire series of pulp washers by improving the efficiency of each washer stage within the series.
- Another object of the present invention is to increase the percentage of interstitial mat liquor present in a filter mat that is available to wash liquor displacement.
- Another object of the present invention is to teach a wash liquor application sequence that removes a greater percentage of interstitial liquor present in a filter mat with no more than a prior art quantity of wash liquor.
- wash liquor is gently applied to the mat surface in several stages distributed over an arcuate increment of the drum rotational path. Between adjacent gentle application stages, however, a low volume, high pressure quantity of wash liquor is directed into the mat to disrupt and rearrange the mat pore matrix thereby opening previously closed pores and displacement channels.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a flow schematic of a four stage, brown stock pulp washing plant.
- FIG. 2 shows a particular shower and corresponding plumbing embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 3 graphically charts the Displacement Ratio vs Wash Liquor Ratio characteristics of an analytical model by which the present invention is evaluated.
- FIG. 4 represents an analytical comparison of Displacement Ratio and Wash Liquor Ratio relationships respective to prior art displacement washing and the present invention procedure for a filter mat having a Formation Index of 1.0.
- FIG. 5 represents an analytical comparison of Displacement Ratio and Wash Liquor Ratio relationships respective to prior art displacement washing and the present invention procedure for a filter mat having a Formation Index of 0.50.
- FIG. 6 represents an analytical comparison of Displacement Ratio and Wash Liquor Ratio relationships respective to prior art displacement washing and the present invention procedure for a filter mat having a Formation Index of 0.050.
- FIG. 7 represents a comparison of actual Displacement Ratio and Wash Liquor Ratio data taken from a production line pulp washing filter respective to prior art displacement washing and the present invention.
- FIG. 1 A representative pulp washing system is schematically illustrated by FIG. 1 to include four washing stages W-1, W-2, W-3 and W-4.
- Each wash stage includes a rotatively driven filter drum 10 having a perforated screen surface around the circumferential periphery thereof and an evacuated interior.
- Conduits 11 represent vacuum drop-legs for withdrawal of liquor from the drum 10 interiors for deposit into filtrate tanks T-1, T-2, T-3 and T-4, respectively.
- Each filter drum 10 is partially immersed in a mixing vat 12 that is supplied with slurried pulp from a respective repulper 13 having an agitation means 14.
- Dewatered pulp mat is scraped from the filter surface of each drum 10 by a doctor board 15 for transfer to the repulper 13 respective to the next successive wash stage.
- a blow tank stock supply conduit 16 delivers freshly digested pulp to the first wash stage repulper 13, usually from a deknotting apparatus which removes undigested knots of fiber. From the final wash stage W-4, an additional repulper 13 is provided to reslurry the mat in preparation for transfer through conduit 17 to the next process stage which usually is the bleaching operation.
- each washer drum 10 Disposed above the filter surface of each washer drum 10 in the upper ascedent quarter thereof relative to the rotational direction are shower sources S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4 for wash liquor be deposited onto the pulp mat attached to the drum filter surface.
- Wash liquor supply for each of the wash liquor shower sources is drawn from the succeeding wash stage filtrate.
- pumps 26 and 27 draw liquor from the final stage filtrate tank T-4 for deposit on the drum mat of third wash stage W-3.
- Initial wash liquor for the final stage W-4 normally is derived from low liquor or liquor-free process water sources such as evaporator condensate. Filtrate from the first wash stage tank T-1 is pumped to the black liquor evaporators for further solids concentration by means of evaporative processes.
- Wash liquor application in the general case of the invention will include, for example, a gentle, non mat disruptive flow from liquor pump 26 of approximately ninety percent of the total wash liquor allocated for a respective wash stage divided evenly through each of the first and third showers 21 and 23, respectively.
- the remainder of the total wash liquor allocation for a given wash stage, approximately 10 percent, is directed by pump 27 through the second shower 22. Discharge from the second shower 22 is carefully regulated to disrupt the pulp mat without a "breakthrough" disturbance. A breakthrough disturbance would be one to dislodge the mat from the filter screen.
- FIG. 1 schematic illustrates two filtrate pumps 26 and 27 to emphasize the distinction between flow rates and delivery pressures respective to the discharges from the first and third showers 21, 23 and the intermediate, second shower 22. More will be developed on these distinctions subsequently.
- FIG. 2 illustrates that in many applied cases of the invention, an actual pumped differential is not required to accomplish the desired objective.
- the first and third showers 21, 23 are shown as double row wash liquor sources from which the liquor is discharged against diffusion baffles 31 and 33 so as to fall upon the drum 10 attached mat M as gently as possible.
- DR Displacement Ratio
- the DR is the achieved reduction in dissolved solids (black liquor) concentration on a vacuum filter divided by the maximum possible reduction in dissolved solids concentration.
- a maximum DR equal to 1.0 would be achieved if all the original liquor held within the intersticies of a vacuum filter mat was displaced by shower liquor. In that case, C D would equal C s .
- W s wash liquor flow rate, # liquor/min.
- W D quantity of liquor discharged with the pulp, # liquor/min.
- Typical Wash Liquor Ratios in the paper pulp industry range from 1 to 2 for brown stock washing and often less for bleach room washing.
- Poor mat formation is characterized as a collection of pores widely differing in radii and length.
- wash liquor flows more readily through large diameter, short pores leaving initially present mat liquor behind in small diameter, long pores. Accordingly, washing efficiency is reduced by a mat having a wide mixture of pore sizes due to preferential flow of the wash liquor through the large radius pores: an observation noted by P. F. Lee in U.S. Pat. No. 4,297,164.
- FIG. 3 graphically represents this analytical model wherein curve A describes the ideal plug flow condition and curve B describes the Displacement Ratio vs Wash Liquor Ratio for a mat having a Formation Index of 1.0.
- FIGS. 4-6 effectively illustrate the operational advantages of the present invention as compared to the prior art washing technique of applying all of the wash liquor only in the soft, displacement mode.
- a small percentage of the total wash liquor allocated to a respective wash stage one sixth for example, is dedicated to a non-breakthrough disruption of the filter mat.
- the remainder of the wash liquor is applied in equal proportions before and after the mat disruptive application.
- curve A the prior art technique of displacement washing only
- curve B the displacement, disruption, displacement technique of the invention
- FIG. 7 represents data taken from comparative trials made on a 11.5 ft. ⁇ 16 ft. rotary vacuum filter used for washing 600 tons of paper pulp per day.
- Curve A shows the average of data points taken while washing in the prior art displacement only mode. Subsequently, an intermediate line of displacement showers were modified so as to apply a small quantity of the wash liquor in a manner that was mildly disruptive of the filter mat.
- Curve B shows the average of data points (shaded) taken in the displacement, disruption, displacement mode of the invention.
- an allocated portion of the total wash liquor for a given stage may range from 10% to 20% in those applications such as FIG. 2 where both, displacement flow and disturbance flow is derived from the same pressure source.
- use of a booster pump to increase the available mat impact energy from the disturbance flow showers such as shown by FIG. 1 may decrease the requisite flow volume to a quantity of only about 10%.
- the present invention offers the potential for considerable savings in recovery energy costs where the wash equipment and production rates result in high Wash Liquor Ratio and/or poor (i.e., thick and lumpy) filter mat formations.
